    The new owner and I put some nice miles on the car today. Just grinning ear to ear the whole time. It's just as it left the dealer in 1972 (really 71) but with that 2.7RS engine it was so much fun!! He's all into just driving it and I love that!

    The 2.7 engine is sooo much more fun to drive than the 2.4. Fabulous you were brave to do that.

    What’s your logic? I prefer the sound of the 2.0/2.2 liters or the grunt of the 2.7. 2.4 is neither here nor there in my mind. But I’m open to new opinion So!

    I've owned the 4 versions of the motor. The 2.0S and 2.2S are a thrill to drive, but to get the most out of them you have to be really on them to get the best. Lots of gearbox rowing,(no pun intended).
    The 2.4S is ok but a bit dull, the 2.7 RS is the best of all worlds, good torque and a great top end too. Opening the 2.4 to 2.7 RS just makes it sooo responsive.
    These are just a personal opinion, others may have different preferences.

    I agree but I was responding to those that said they felt the 72S was the high water mark of 911s even Better than the RS.

    I find that out preferring the 2.7 or the earlier 2/2.2 for their soul.

    I heard about his passing today which is very sad but he lived to 90 years old and I can only image what a fantastic life he had and the experiences he had in life. RIP
